The Perfect Upgrade: From an Old Air Conditioner to a State-of-the-Art Heat Pump
The Backstory
Nestled in the heart of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Montreal, a homeowner faced a common dilemma. Their old 12,000 BTU air conditioner was no longer cutting it. The once reliable machine was now struggling to cool their space, and the noise it produced was far from ideal. They knew it was time for a change, and that's when they reached out to us at AirGreen.
Why the Gree Crossover Mini Split?
When the homeowner expressed their desire for a more powerful and quieter machine, we knew exactly what to recommend. The Gree Crossover Mini Split was the perfect fit for several reasons:
- Cooling Capacity: With a robust 18,000 BTU, it was a significant upgrade from their old unit.
- Silent Operation: With an interior sound pressure level of just 31/46 dB(A), it promised the peace they craved.
- Energy Efficiency: Boasting a 23.0 SEER rating and an Energy Star® certification, it was both eco-friendly and wallet-friendly.
- WiFi Connectivity: Modern problems require modern solutions. The included WiFi feature ensures the homeowner can control their comfort from anywhere.
- Extended Warranty: A 10-10-10 warranty on the compressor, parts, and labor, with an included extended warranty, speaks volumes about the product's reliability.
The Installation Journey
Upon arrival, our team was prepared for a straightforward replacement. However, every installation tells its own story. As we began the process, we decided to perform a leak test on the existing pipes. To our surprise, the old pipes were not up to par. They were leaking, and their quality was questionable at best.
But here at AirGreen, we believe in doing things right. We informed the homeowner of the situation and swiftly replaced the old pipes with high-quality ones that matched the 1/4 - 5/8 specification. This attention to detail not only ensured the efficiency of the new Gree Crossover but also safeguarded the homeowner's investment for years to come.
The Heat Pump Advantage
While the homeowner's initial unit was merely an air conditioner, we saw an opportunity to introduce them to the benefits of a heat pump. The Gree Crossover isn't just about cooling; it's also equipped to provide warmth even in temperatures as low as -30°C. And the cherry on top? The Provincial Grant of $570 that comes with this model. It's a win-win situation – superior comfort and savings!
A Happy Ending and a New Beginning
Our commitment to excellence didn't go unnoticed. The homeowner was thrilled with our meticulous approach and the quality of our work. Word of mouth is the best advertisement, and soon enough, their neighbor reached out to us. Another Gree Crossover was installed, and another customer was left delighted.
